Where are we heading to as a society: Khan Sir reacts strongly to Muzaffarpur rape case

RESPONDING strongly to Muzaffarpur rape case, popular educator and YouTuber Khan Sir on Saturday questioned the very fabric of humanity in today's society. His remarks came after the tragic death of an 11-year-old Dalit girl, who was reportedly sexually assaulted and then denied timely medical care, ultimately succumbing to her injuries.

Speaking to IANS, Khan Sir said, "This is not just a case of crime, this is a question of our collective humanity.”

Describing the inhumanity of the incident, he said, "Arif Mohammad Khan (Bihar Governor), who came to meet me, was very shaken. He told us, 'How can a human being be so devoid of empathy that a child - a 11-year-old girl - comes out limping after being raped, and even then, the system fails to respond?' She was taken away in an ambulance, and even then, she was shuttled between hospitals without proper treatment."

"Where are we going as a society? The pain of another should feel like our own - this is the essence of humanity. If we lose this, then what is the difference between humans and animals?" he told IANS.

Khan Sir further called on the legal fraternity to introspect.
